AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the future of professions in an increasingly automated economy, questioning how automation will reshape job markets. There is speculation about the potential rise of unconventional roles, such as entertainers and thrill-seekers, as automation takes over traditional jobs. The conversation also touches on the implications of transhumanism, particularly the idea of brain-computer interfaces versus physical enhancements. However, the dialogue is constrained by forum rules that limit discussions to mainstream science fiction. Overall, the thread highlights concerns about job evolution in the face of advancing technology.

What do you think, what will be the professions of future, when we can automatize more and more jobs?

Could be the list changed by introducing transhumanism? (I rather think in direct brain-computer contact than someone willingly replace limbs for example.)

This trend is already well in progress. More jobs for warriors, gladiators, prostitutes, and show girls. Rich people go for frivolous excitement.

I can imagine things going into different directions, but any such is not mainstream science fiction and discussion of such is against forum rules.
 
The purpose of this forum is not to skirt forum rules. Closed.
 

Thread 'AI and the Human Body'

I'm currently writing a novel in which my main character was a victim of experimentation (cliche, I know) but has no memory of it. In the experimentation, technology was implanted in the character's body, allowing an AI algorithm to run off of the character and fuse it's psychological aspects with an actual human's. I'm not super knowledgeable in science such as this, and I'm sure doing this would be incredibly hard, if not impossible, to do. So for the sake of keeping the peace, let's just...

Thread 'AI Consciousness?'

I know this topic is extremely contraversial and debated, but I'm writing a book where an AI attempts to become as human as possible. Would it, eventually, especially in the far future, be possible for an AI to gain a conscious? To be clear, my definition of a consciousness being the ability to possess self-created morals, thoughts, and views, AKA a whole personality. And if this is possible (and let's just say it is for this question), about how long may it take for something to happen...

Thread 'Map of a 4D planet'

A map of a four-dimensional planet is three dimensional, so such can exist in our Universe. I made one and posted a video to the Internet. This is all based on William Kingdon Clifford's math from the 19th century. It works like this. A 4D planet has two perpendicular planes of rotation. The intersection of such a plane with the surface of the planet is a great circle. We can define latitude as the arctan( distance from one plane/distance from the other plane). The set of all points...
